The story is set on a small island on the shores of Dongting Lake in the south in the late 1990s, where the scenery is beautiful and the people are simple. In the 1990s, society was in a period of transformation. Although the island was relatively isolated, it was also affected by changes in the outside world. People's lives gradually change, and traditional concepts and new trends of thought collide with each other, providing a rich background for the fate and emotional development of the characters in the story.
